Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A transmitting device, comprising: a touch panel; a touch link module for establishing a touch link with a receiving device through the touch panel; a processing module for determining an instruction according to a link duration of the transmitting device and the receiving device after the touch link being established; and a transceiver module for transmitting the instruction to the receiving device.
2. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the link duration is a time duration of a communication channel established by the transmitting device and the receiving device.
3. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the link duration is a time duration when the transmitting device is in physical proximity to the receiving device.
4. The transmitting device of claim 1 , further comprising: a timing module for counting the link duration and transmitting a counting result to the processing module after the touch link being established.
5. The transmitting device of claim 4 , wherein the processing module indicates a first link duration corresponding to a first instruction to the timing module, and when the first link duration has expired, indicates a second link duration corresponding to a second instruction to the timing module.
6. The transmitting device of claim 4 , wherein the processing module indicates a first link duration corresponding to a first instruction and a reserved response duration to the timing module, and when the first link duration has expired, indicates a second link duration corresponding to a second instruction and the reserved response duration to the timing module.
7. The transmitting device of claim 4 , wherein the processing module indicates a maximum of the link durations corresponding to each of the instructions to the timing module; or the processing module indicates a maximum of the link durations corresponding to each of the instructions and a reserved response duration to the timing module.
8. The transmitting device of claim 4 , wherein when the processing module receives a feedback signal, the processing module transmits an expired signal to the timing module to stop counting the link duration.
9. The transmitting device of claim 8 , wherein the feedback signal is generated by picking up or moving the transmitting device and the receiving device, knocking at the transmitting device, pressing a specific button on the transmitting device, or controlling the transmitting device by voice control.
10. The transmitting device of claim 4 , wherein the counting result is a message that the link duration has expired, a message that the reserved response duration has expired, or the link duration.
11. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the processing module transmits a request for the instruction to the receiving device through the transceiver module before transmitting the instruction to the receiving device, and the transmitting device determines whether to transmit the instruction to the receiving device according to a confirmed result of the receiving device.
12. The transmitting device of claim 1 , further comprising: an informing module for generating an informing signal corresponding to the instruction to inform the user for the instruction corresponding to a current link duration.
13. The transmitting device of claim 1 , further comprising: a storage module for storing a corresponding relationship between the link durations and the instructions.
14. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver module transmits an instructions list to the receiving device after the touch link has been established.
15. A transmission method, applied to a transmitting device, comprising: establishing a touch link with a receiving device through a touch panel of the transmitting device; determining an instruction according to a link duration of the transmitting device and the receiving device after the touch link being established; and transmitting the instruction to the receiving device.
16. The transmission method of claim 15 , wherein the link duration is a time duration of a communication channel established by the transmitting device and the receiving device.
17. The transmission method of claim 15 , wherein the link duration is a time duration when the transmitting device is in physical proximity to the receiving device.
18. The transmission method of claim 15 , further comprising: counting the link duration and transmitting a counting result to the processing module after the touch link has been established; and stopping counting the link duration when receiving a feedback signal.
19. The transmission method of claim 18 , wherein the feedback signal is generated by picking up or moving the transmitting device and the receiving device, knocking at the transmitting device, pressing a specific button on the transmitting device, or controlling the transmitting device by voice control.
20. The transmission method of claim 18 , wherein the counting result is a message that the link duration has expired, a message that the reserved duration has expired, or the link duration.
21. The transmission method of claim 15 , further comprising: transmitting an request for the instruction to the receiving device before transmitting the instruction to the receiving device; and determining whether to transmit the instruction to the receiving device according to a confirmed result of the receiving device.
22. The transmission method of claim 15 , further comprising: generating an informing signal corresponding to the instruction to inform the user for the instruction corresponding to a current link duration.
23. The transmission method of claim 15 , further comprising: storing a corresponding relationship between the link durations and the instructions.
24. The transmission method of claim 15 , further comprising: transmitting an instructions list to the receiving device after the touch link has been established.
25. A transmission method, comprising: establishing a touch link through touch panels of a first electrical device and a second electrical device; determining which of the first electrical device or the second electrical device is a transmitting end and which is a receiving end using a determination mechanism after the touch link being established; determining an instruction according to a link duration of the first electrical device and second electrical device; and transmitting the instruction to the receiving end.
26. The transmission method of claim 25 , wherein the determination mechanism comprises a button setting, a sensing result, or an audio indication.
